Where do tanker drivers sleep

not saying its not possible but i dont think we have any drivers picking up milk out of state (that i know of). the out of state work will be mostly transport drivers, guys taking milk FROM the ny area TO plants in other states. if i didnt have to be home with the kids i would consider doing a transport load for the experience of it. my co is from alexander, ny

of course we have over 30 drivers and im not sure where they all go. we do have some very nice, decent drivers.

 

I know, he said he lives in Alexander and picks up around Alexander. It would have to pay #### good for a 340 mile drive one way just to deliver raw milk, and then drive home. Taking into account you are just two deliveries in a 7 day period out of the 35 they get daily. I do not understand it. Maybe the milk comes from gold teats. The plant is a bottler of A2 milk by day, Organic milk by night.

 

I apologize @Western flyer for hijacking your thread.

 

i know the company does handsomely on what they get paid for pickups. my route alone 2 farms each paying $64K per year for pickups 5 other stops paying $34K each. these are approximate numbers. the farmers are hurting over the price of milk, but then i hear the farmers complain about the cost of the pickup service. my boss does not set these rates, the co-op does.

 

We park under the truckstop. There's a "tanker only" section under every parking lot. Most have gambling, alcohol, and prostitutes.

Haha no seriously were out there. Just don't notice us in a sea of vans

 

I have a sleeper but I rarely use it. I sleep in my bed.

If im at the truckstop I hide.

 

Stay at the customer or tank wash. Plus I know of a lot of out of the way places to campout at. Not to mention we have a few terminals at strategic locations.

 

When your pulling a 8000 gallon tank you don't need to stop for fuel very often.


You would not believe the number of people who think that.

 

The last place we want to be is UNDER the truckstop. Ewww
